Megastar Amitabh Bachchan was discharged from Nanavati Hospital in Mumbai on Friday night after being admitted for some routine check-up, hospital sources said. Bachchan had gone for a routine check-up at the hospital on Tuesday and remained there for the next two days. At around 10 pm, Bachchan left the hospital with his wife Jaya Bachchan and son Abhishek, the sources said.

Reports of Bachchan, who turned 77 on October 11, suffering a liver problem were doing the rounds but sources claimed there was no truth to it. "He came to the hospital for a routine check-up. He is doing fine. He is hale and hearty," sources had said earlier.
